As yusef says, it's a 'false positive'. It simply means there are game files in Pahelika that have names that are similar to known trojan file names, similar enough to cause an alert. Don't worry, there are no trojans in any GH games!

Hmm, with so many of us all having the same problem, what a relief it is to know that it's caused by something as simple as ALL OF US having/doing something wrong with our computers

I get this problem all the time, even when I am using a browser at the same time so I know the connection is fine. Just one of those things I'm afraid, the downloader is a bit over-sensitive. All you can do is try again, usually you can do it again straight away and it works fine, as far as I can tell there isn't really any problem with the connection.

Can anyone from GH tell me when the standard edition is coming out? Lagoona said it was listed as being in the next 30 days but I've looked in the upcoming games list, and I can't see it listed anywhere, not even under 60 days

I was SO happy to see this game come out, I was waiting so long for it, then when I saw that it was a platinum edition, well, I was just so diappointed. Honestly, it does make me wonder what the actual point of my membership subscription is. I feel like someone who's getting the low-quality, restricted 'free' service of something, which is BAD given that I'm a full paying member.

Hmm yes, his grasp of English is, uh, interesting, for someone from the UK with a culturally English name.. not to mention, during the course of his post, he seems to have forgotten how to spell his own name. Understandable, of course, with a tricky long name like 'John'

cjvp, you're the one who has missed the point. No-one was saying reviews need to be LONG, but simply that it would be helpful if reviewers tried to be as INFORMATIVE as possible. Overly-simple reviews do not tell me whether the puzzles are skippable, whether the emphasis of the game is on HO scenes rather than puzzle-solving, or whether the second game in a series has solved the bugs of the first - or retained the most enjoyable aspects of gameplay. Your criticism of yusef seems to have completely missed the point that she and many of the rest of us were making.

You're entitled to your own opinion on the subject, but it would have been perfectly possible to state it without actually having a go at other posters just because your view differs from theirs.

They are the 'standard' versions of these games, the versions that came out before were the Platinum Editions or Premium Editions.

I must admit I don't really feel a different version of a game that's already been out for a week or two really counts as a 'new' game.

Yep, looks like the 600 coins is the big surprise It's barely more than the Frequent Flyer bage for 30 days sign-in, which is 400 coins. I got 3500 coins for the A-Lister badge (for buying 5 games)!! I'm currently at about 32,000 coins - which, I might add, I can do absolutely nothing with anyway - so it's just nothing really, after all that hype.

LOL now yusef you're robbing me of my rightful place, I'm sure I hold the record for complaining!

Not impressed by these lightweight amateur moaners. Where are the spelling mistakes? The multiple exclamation marks!!!!!! THE UNNECESSARY CAPITALIZATION!!!!!!!!! These johnny-come-lately complainers know nothing

Thanks for NOTHING

Support say they are not going to bother doing anything to restore my broken sign-in streak. So now after all that effort it counts for nothing. I'm all the way back to the beginning again.

Well frankly GH if YOU can't be bothered with ME then I can't be bothered with YOU.

I think OP may mean GamePass rather than FunPass. It's the membership we were offered when we came over from RealArcade, we get two game credits per month. They used to be called FunTickets, but since GH introduced special deals for FunTicket holders they've been changed to 'game credits' so we don't qualify. (As far as I know it still says FunTickets when you go to purchase a game though! However it's been so long since I found a game to purchase with my credits, they may have changed this now.)

Are you sure it doesn't say 'Exetender'? This is a piece of malware that piggy-backs onto your computer with games from some of the less reputable games sites - NOT GAMEHOUSE. One of the worst culprits that I have heard about is Free Ride Games (wouldn't touch 'em!!), have you downloaded any games from them? Or from anyone other than Gamehouse?

It's not directly harmful but it's a nuisance and hard to get rid of. There is a brilliant forum called Tech Support Guy Forum, they can advise you how to get rid of it, but I can't post a link as it's not allowed, you'll just have to Google it.

Yep me too, I've just been trying hard not to think about it, what with all the delays and hold-ups! Even the next '30 days' seems like an age (I hope it's really less than that now!)

No, I haven't tried running it in a different browser, because I use Firefox, and that's my preferred browser. Everything else works in it, including everything else on the GH website. I think it's a reasonable expectation that it should work in Firefox.

I got stuck on this for a little while, maybe you're having the same problem as me? I couldn't work out how to swap them, they don't click and drag...in the end I discovered that if you click one, then click another one, those two swap. You can't remove one to make a gap in the place you want to put a different one, you just click the right one onto the misplaced one and they swap. I don't know if I've explained that very well, but have a go, hopefully you'll see what I mean!

That's odd, I don't get ads that I have to check a 'No' box for, certainly not pop-ups.

They ought to download to wherever you originally set them to download to when you ran the Gamehouse installer for the first time. You shouldn't need to select a location every time, that's very unusual! Hopefully a member of GH staff will post here to advise you how to fix that

Hi Silverfairy, yes I'm afraid you have to keep a sharp eye out now for 'Platinum' and 'Premium' - 'Platinum' we can't play with Funpass, we have to buy (but at the members' discount price), 'Premium' we're still ok with.. there is a lengthy thread already on the introduction of 'Platinum' edition games, so I won't go into the pros and cons of it here, but so far GH have promised that all Platinum Edition games will have a Standard Edition released at the same time.

I'm using Windows 7, I don't get another window opening during the download, but the GH download window does download '1 of 2 files' (which is usually a quick one) then '2 of 2 files' (which is the long one that takes an age to download on my dreadful broadband LOL). I can't help you on the 'switchboard' thing I'm afraid; are you using Internet Explorer by any chance? (I use Firefox)

Each national flag is at the end of a row of the grid, and indicates that auto parts from that country should go into that row. In the catalogue of auto parts, each part makes some reference to which country it 'belongs' to

I don't think they need to go in any particular order left to right, but start by finding all the auto parts from the 'top row' country (I think it's USA? Can't remember now), and work down, row by row, as this will stop you from accidentally swapping parts you've already placed correctly.

No, actually I think I must be Gamehouse's least favourite customer, as I'm always complaining! But I trust them totally on being virus and trojan-free, and I've been a member for a LOT of years.

I just thought I'd clue you in on the 'false positives' thing, as it's a very common problem which long-standing members are familiar with but often gives newbies a bit of a scare. Not sure why you took it badly - I was aiming for helpful and reassuring, maybe I didn't throw in enough smileys...

Gamehouse games are completely clean and virus-free. I trust them implicitly. However the problem of 'false positives' (where individual files in a game are wrongly flagged as containing viruses due to similarities in text) is a longstanding one and pretty common. Just the other day, Age of Empires (which I've had on my PC for years) suddenly got flagged as a trojan by AVG - and that's a Microsoft game, so even their own products can throw up false positives!

As Wolverine says, sounds more like DirectX to me, just your graphics card having a splutter at the end-game cinematics most likely, which is nothing to worry about in itself. I don't know why your computer would be running slowly now, but whatever the reason, that is more likey to be the CAUSE of the game crashing rather than the other way round. If it is due to a trojan it certainly won't have come from a GH game.

Is this the puzzle with the national flags positioned on the wall next to the grid? If so, then the info in the book and the national flags should tell you where to position each part.

Just be a tad careful though, I remember one ot two of the parts looked fairly similar, don't get them mixed up! Good luck!

Um, I'm confused, why should Gamehouse be responsible for a game you purchased elsewhere? It's the responsibility of the retailer you purchased it from (or maybe the developer if you want to go to them directly). I don't see what it's got to do with Gamehouse at all. In this thread GH staff are trying to help their own customers who have purchased the game through Gamehouse.
